It is true that there is no such evidence both of Dwakadas and Babu as to what took place inside the 'kotha' or what led to the firing.

Thus an offence Under Section 302 UPC has been amply proved against the accused and in our opinion the learned Sessions Judge was right in convicting the appellant of the said offence.
